Minutes Content for Tue, Jan 31, 2023

Proponent
Mark Knackendoffel (Attachment 4) stated the Judicial Council and its Probate Law Advisory Committee recommend HB2130, a bill that would increase various dollar amounts in the probate code. Most of the increases in the bill are necessary simply to keep up with inflation; however, the increase in the dollar limit for use of the small estates affidavit procedure under K.S.A. 59-1507b has a somewhat different rationale. Mr. Knackendoffel shared a chart with the proposed increase which is based on the increase in the CPI since the last time the amount was updated (rounding up as appropriate). Comments following the chart provide a more detailed explanation of each proposed increase are included in his written testimony. Mr. Knackendoffel stood for questions.
Chairperson Patton closed the hearing on HB2130.
